Period Charm If you’re looking to give your home a new look for the New Year, then Lindsey Adams has these tips to add period features to your property…

4

1. FIREPLACES give a room a focal point and character, and if they’re functional, are a practical addition to reception rooms. Hearth and Homes (Hessle) and Select Fireplaces (Beverley) are great places to find fireplaces of all styles, including period reproduction ones. Ebay and local selling sites can be good for finding salvaged fire surrounds and whilst some are expensive, many can be picked up for very little. You can buy fireplaces fully restored, but others make a great DIY project. Painting a pine fireplace surround will quickly transform it, and rust can usually be banished with Hammerite Kurust metal paint that can be applied directly to rust, or in the case of polished metal surrounds that aren’t designed to be painted, very fine sandpaper or metal polish and fine wire wool.

2. WINDOWS: Just as a chimney breast without a fireplace is a sorry sight, so are period properties with ugly plastic windows. Lots of people like UPVC windows because they’re double glazed and low maintenance, but some styles are more attractive and in keeping than others.

UPVC sash windows are a good compromise and don’t cost much more than UPVC casement windows from some suppliers. If you have a bigger budget, or your choice is restricted by planning laws, period-style wooden windows are a beautiful and environmentally friendly alternative.

The windows can make a big difference to the appearance of your home and while changing them isn’t cheap, it’s worth doing if you can, especially if it makes your home more energy efficient in the process.

3. DOORS: Replacing ugly or dated exterior doors can also make a huge difference to your home’s appearance.

Wooden doors come in a large range of styles and as long as you pick one that suits Continued Page 6

the period of your home, it shouldn’t date. If you can’t afford new exterior doors, interior doors are generally much cheaper. There are, of course, period-style reproduction doors, but nothing beats original ones, which you can find in architectural salvage yards and on eBay. Even better, lots of people throw out original doors when they renovate, so they’re there for the taking. If the doors are in a poor state, save yourself a lot of time and effort by getting them professionally dipped and stripped - stripping them yourself is really hard work.

4. FEATURES: Some of the easiest period-style features to add are ceiling roses, coving/cornicing and dado and picture rails - there’s a big choice online and in DIY stores.

With coving and ceiling roses, the best option for DIY’ers is lighter materials, such as polyurethane resin, which are straight forward to fit - leave fitting plaster designs to the professionals!

5. PERIOD FLOORING, whether stone or wood, can be expensive if you’re buying reclaimed materials, so it’s not for everyone. Modern wooden flooring rarely looks like original floorboards, but stone is easier to replicate. Modern encaustic tiles are similar to Victorian ones, for example, and some companies specialise in laying them in

www.dnfourteenmag.co.uk

intricate designs that match original ones. This is a fantastic way to create a stunning feature that won’t date.

HOW TO Many period fireplaces, especially Victorian ones, have intricate metal surrounds and/ or inserts, which are beautiful but tricky to paint. I find that using a water-based metal paint makes things easier, as it’s less likely to run than most oil based paints, and dries quickly.

You still need to watch out for runs and drips - go over them with an almost-dry paintbrush - but you’ll get a good finish relatively easily. Perhaps a better option is using a good spray paint, such as Ronseal Quick Drying All Surface Paint – apply it in thin coats or it will run.

REPLACE THE PANES NOT THE FRAMES! Most of us don’t think twice about our windows, and why should we - a good window should be invisible. So when we find our once beautifully clear windows beginning to cloud up, we dread the hassle of having to replace costly double glazed units.

Happy Christmas

Did You Know?

Christmas Facts and Trivia Christmas is celebrated in many countries all over the world and in a wide variety of ways. Many of the customs and decorations we use to make the holiday special have developed in interesting ways and their origins may be hidden in history. With these interesting facts about Christmas, test your knowledge of Christmas trivia as you read through.

The image of Santa Claus flying his sleigh began in 1819 and was created by Washington Irving, the same author who dreamt up the Headless Horseman.

8

The Montgomery Ward department store in America created Rudolph the Reindeer as a marketing gimmick to encourage children to buy their Christmas coloring books.

You would have to use your artificial tree for more than 20 years for it to be ‘greener’ than buying a fresh-cut tree annually.

If you gave all the gifts listed in the Twelve Days of Christmas, it would equal 364 gifts.

Paul McCartney’s Christmas song is widely regarded as the worst of all the songs he ever recorded yet he earns over £313,000 a year off of it.

Brenda Lee recorded “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” when she was only 13 years old.

Almost 28 sets of LEGO are sold every second during the Christmas season.

Coca-Cola was the first company that used Santa Claus during the winter season for promotion.

Clement Moore’s poem introduced eight more reindeer for Santa’s sleigh and their names were Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Duner and Blixem (for the German words for thunder and lightning). These later evolved into Donner and Blitzen.

The Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is donated to the people of London every year by the people of Oslo,Norway in thanks for their assistance during World War II.

The oldest artificial Christmas trees date back to the late 1800s and were made of green raffia (think grass hula skirts) or dyed goose feathers.

Next the Addis Brush Company used their machinery that wove toilet brushes to create pine-like branches for artificial Christmas trees that were less flammable and could hold heavier decorations.

The Statue of Liberty was gifted to the US by the French on Christmas day in 1886. It weighs 225 tons and thus you could consider it as the biggest Christmas gift in the world.

Christmas tree decoration is believed to have originated in the 16th century in Germany.

Family Support at The Courtyard Home-Start is the country’s leading family-support organisation, helping thousands of families every year and offering enjoyable, interesting and well-supported voluntary work to people with a bit of time to spare. The Goole Home-Start Scheme based at The Courtyard on Boothferry Road now needs more Volunteers to join their friendly team.

12

Home-Start Volunteers visit families in their homes to help for a few hours a week, offering practical and emotional support to strengthen families, building their confidence and ability to cope, enabling them

to give their children the best possible start in life.

Volunteers come to us for many reasons and along the way they gain confidence and skills for their own development and growth.

Volunteers receive excellent preparation for the role, through the Preparation Course, which volunteers tell us they find fun and enjoyable (no home-work, no tests!).

There are also opportunities for further training, experiences and skills that can lead into employment.

Volunteering with HomeStart is a chance to be part of a vital local service and

requires energy, commitment, reliability, creativity and a sense of humour. Volunteers tell us that the time they give to Home-Start is enjoyable and rewarding, increases their confidence and their circle of friends and makes them happy!

“I would recommend becoming a Home-Start Volunteer, it’s only two or three hours a week and it’s so much fun and really rewarding - you get back just as much as you give.”

“Supporting local families is great but I’ve also made friends, enjoyed the Home-Start social events - and volunteering looks good on my CV!”.

Santa in town with Goole District Lions Once again Goole District Lions will be touring the town with Santa.

Monday 17th December – Santa will be touring the streets off Boothferry Road from 6pm.

As always, these dates and times are subject to the weather being kind to Santa!

The Lions Christmas Carol Service will be held earlier this year. It will take place on Sunday 16th December at Central Methodist Church at 4pm.

FOODIE FACTS: AT CHRISTMAS WE ROUND UP SOME FASCINATING TRIVIA GEMS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS FOOD AND DRINK Pudding power

Christmas pudding is also shrouded in mystery.

Supposedly, the dessert should be made with thirteen ingredients to represent Jesus and his disciples, while placing a silver coin (traditionally a ‘sixpence’, or today’s five pence piece) in the pudding reportedly brings good luck to the person who finds it.

Turkey traditions

Sweet speculation

Much superstition surrounds mince pies. It is considered lucky to eat one on each of the 12 days of Christmas, cutting one with a knife is said to bring bad luck. Mince pies should always be eaten in silence and the mincemeat mixture should be stirred clockwise.

The majority of families (76%) around the UK tend to serve up a succulent roast turkey as the centrepiece of their festive meal at Christmas.

Last year saw the UK consuming approximately 10million turkeys. The bird was considered a luxury before becoming more readily available in the 1950s.

Global gourmets

Despite being named after the Belgian capital, Brussels sprouts are thought to originally come from Iran and Afghanistan. There are over 50 varieties of the vegetable, and farmers run 10 times as many harvesters to produce them in the run-up to Christmas, picking them from dawn until dusk.

In Norway, the festive feast takes place on Christmas Eve, while the Swedish meal consists of caviar, shellfish, cheeses plus cooked and raw fish.

Soup, salads, eggs and carp are enjoyed in the Czech Republic and Austrians indulge in braised carp served with a gingerbread and beer sauce.

Calorie counters

Christmas cash

Brussels beginnings

An average Brit consumes 7,000 calories on Christmas Day. Some 2,265 of these are consumed before Christmas lunch through alcohol and snacking, while the dinner itself accounts for 1,450 and Christmas pudding for 1,174.

As a result, we put on 6lbs between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.

Throughout the UK, an estimated £22billion is spent by households at Christmas time, with the average home splashing out a grand total of £835.

Approximately £161 of this is thought to go on food and drink, while the rest is spent on gifts (£634), cards, trees and decorations (£40).

Gardening

Winter Viburnums For winter blooms and scent, you can’t do much better than Viburnums

l Position Best in full sun, but happy in a little dappled shade.

There are two main features we require of winter shrubs: flowers and fragrance. They have to stand the worst the winter can throw at them, and if their foliage is attractive and evergreen or if their autumn berries hang on into winter, so much the better.

26

Viburnums fit the bill and there is quite a choice.

They fall into three distinct groups and it would be no bad thing if we had one plant from each. For fragrant flowers, the forms of twiggy and deciduous Viburnum x bodnantense stand out. The four or five varieties available are similar and you’ll be pleased with any named form. The pink buds open to scented white flowers at any time from November to March and occasionally all the way through.

Evergreens form another group and V. tinus, one of the toughest shrubs known to gardeners, is a dependable winter essential. I prefer ‘Gwenllian’ for producing

Please mention

l Hardiness All are hardy, but deciduous flowering types are best shaded from winter morning sun. l Height x Spread 2-4m x 1.5-4m l Care Most soils are suitable, but avoid waterlogged and parched conditions, and prepare well, adding compost or soil improver. Pruning is usually unnecessary but, if their size needs reducing, make your cuts after flowering in early spring.

Mulch with weed-free organic matter in autumn.

flowers and berries together, but ‘Spirit’ is neater. Varieties that hold their berries into winter make up the third group.

They bring a different style and several colours, but you can never tell how long the berries will last before the birds finish them off.

when responding to advertisers. Thank you.

Gardening

Don’t forget the Bird Seed!

There are different mixes for feeders and for bird tables and ground feeding.

The better mixtures contain plenty of flaked maize, sunflower seeds, and peanut granules.

Small seeds, such as millet, attract mostly house sparrows, dunnocks, finches, reed buntings and collared doves, while flaked maize is taken readily by blackbirds. Tits

grains are often included in seed mixtures, but they are really only suitable for pigeons, doves and pheasants, which feed on the ground and rapidly increase in numbers, frequently deterring the smaller species.

and greenfinches favour peanuts and sunflower seeds. Mixes that contain chunks or whole nuts are suitable for winter feeding only.

Pinhead oatmeal is excellent for many birds. Wheat and barley

Avoid seed mixtures that have split peas, beans, dried rice or lentils as again only the large species can eat them dry. These are added to some cheaper seed mixes to bulk them up. Any mixture containing green or pink lumps should also be avoided as these are dog biscuit, which can only be eaten when soaked.

Gardening Jobs to do in January January is a time to get organised for the gardening year ahead. Seed catalogues arrive on the doormat to tempt you into growing new plants – try to think of what you need rather than all that you want!

The novice gardener tends to end up with boxes of seeds that could never all be sown, the more experienced gardener tends to buy just a few packets and use them all. We make notes of plants that have performed well and those that didn’t quite make the grade; it’s amazing how quickly you can forget this once everything has died down. Annual plants are always worth growing as they can fill in gaps and perform their socks off in their short life span.

If you like to grow your own vegetables, use this quiet month in the garden to plan which plants to grow. We can all slip into the habit of growing the same plants, think about how much you enjoyed them – did

the whole family eat them or were you struggling to use them up? I’ve always grown beetroot, but it’s really only me that likes them and even then, I can only eat so many! They’re easy to buy in the greengrocers, so why not scrub them off your list and try something new instead?

Remember, to get the most out of your vegetable patch, you should ideally be rotating your crops. Legumes, such as runner beans or broad beans have nitrogen fixing nodules on their roots; Brassicas need nitrogen to grow well so swap the two crops over every few years to let nature do some of the work for you. This is why experienced gardeners just chop down their beans leaving the roots in the ground, that’s one job saved for you!

If the ground isn’t frozen solid, January is a great time to plant bare rooted plants such as hedging, fruit and roses.

By planting when they are dormant, you give them a

chance to concentrate on putting on root growth prior to spring when they put on leaves and grow towards flowering.

A good dollop of compost or well-rotted manure gives the plants a boost and the best start. If you need to split up any of your plants, the same principle applies.

Take a space and dig out the whole clump, you then use your spade to slice through and make smaller clumps which you can then plant elsewhere or pot up.

Got a plant that’s in the wrong place? Now’s the time, dig it up and put it where it’s more suited, let it get settled before having to think about putting on new growth.

The darkest months are behind us now, soon the snowdrops will be appearing, followed by the Daffodils and then you’re suddenly hurtling towards the busiest gardening season. So, take a well-earned rest whilst you can!
